And another request : I am looking for a solution where a closed circle of people could easily share pictures or text in a very easy way (like take a smartphone picture, share, and all done). My kids are in the early years of school, and already get homework, but are sometimes forgetting to note them in their book, or forget one exercise sheet at school, etc.. Other kids do as well, which results in parents wildly texting to know who has the complete set of homework, and share with the ones who don't. My idea was to put the daily homework on a site that all parents could access to read or write. Writing means copying some text or putting a snapshot of a piece of poetry that has to be learned by heart for instance. This should not be too complicated, since we still have a high level of computer illiterates over here (hence the idea of smartphone picture). I thought about a picasa or flickr account, so do everything with pictures, but I do not know if it is so flexible that anybody can get access without logging in, and can modify it without logging in.
Whatsapp Group would be the easiest option. You can send pic in two clicks. Not at all complicated. Give it a try.

Thanks Jörgen, this definitely looks like a good solution.

Load the pictures to Flikr - and us IFTT to post updates to Twitter whenever a new picture is uploaded.

I think you *might* have missed the line about them being mostly computer illiterate.

You can create something called a Group, this can either require permission from the Group admin to add users or not. IMHO Groups work very well on Facebook I belong to several "closed" groups where only members can see messages Photos, videos and other files.

Zuckenburg et al know what you are posting. :rolleyes:

Forward thinking schools these days have a website where teachers are required to post homework. If you are in a district that has these resources, maybe they already have such a thing.

I'm a big fan of Microsoft's OneNote. https://www.onenote.com/[^] I use it to share information between work, home, and my cellphone. At work, I have a notebook that gets shared with the team members to document systems and procedures. I got hooked on it during a time I was heavily medicated from a medical condition and found that I could clip fragments of webpages into research folders instead of bookmarking the entire pages. The pasted fragments would automatically have a link to the source page inserted if I needed to go back and look at whatever I didn't clip out at the time. It was great for collecting research for projects when my mind was not fully functional. Being able to point multiple machines to the notebooks let me share the research on my multiple home computers and remote computers as well. Before OneDrive, I used to paste files into it as well, so I could access them remotely.

Around here, most of the teachers have a web page where they post the assignments. Maybe you could get your child's teachers to do the same. I think some of the teachers are using an outside vendor (i.e. not the school) for the page.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

My first thought was DropBox. Available just about everywhere, and auto-syncs. My second thought is... This may potentially violate some of the rules about cheating. So be careful there. My final thought is that the teachers need to get with the program. Our daughter had blackboard running that kept track of the assignments all on-line (assignment, due date, status, etc) but the teachers were leveraging it.

Shouldn't your school provide this? Talk to the IT staff and Teachers, VP, Principal, PTA.
